I’m pretty compulsive at picking up promos and stuff from acts I’ve never heard of, I just grab things I like the look of / the band name / instrument line up / cover art etc. Curiosity is a Very Good Thing, so here is a whole section for it. £1.50 each. Take a punt on something new!

Dave Derby And The Norfolk Downs - Dave Derby And The Norfolk Downs. Hint of Americana, hint of Lou Reed.
Henry Dingle – The Boy Who Never Learned. Tastefully packaged quiet and tranquil DIY / bedroom folk / indie stuff, looks like a private pressing.
Dolium – High Hounds On The Prowl. NuPunk, jerky, angular, hooky.
Dualist – We Are You. Guitar driven indie, slight hint of very early Boy period U2.
The Dudes – Brain, Heart, Guitar. “These songs may well be about you” they claim on the cover, so I guess you’ll have to buy it to find out. They weren’t about me.

E

Bruno E – Lovely Arthur. Funky nu-jazz stuff, but played rather than loop-driven.

Garageland – Last Exit To Garageland. Poppy grunge or grungy pop depending on one’s viewpoint.
Goodluck Jonathan – This Is Our Way Out. Guitar indie of a jerky and somewhat autobiographical nature.
Grantura - In Dreams And Other Stories. Folk tinged indie-pop of a light and accessible nature.

H

The Head Of Light Entertainment – I Am Liberated. Acoustic singer songwriter stuff (mainly just voice and guitar) of a bald guy in suit nature.
HennSi – Paranoid & Blackcurrant. Indie-rock with fuzz pedals. Certainly more than one.
Her Space Holiday – XOXO Panda And The New Kid Revival. A slight change of direction in that it’s far more acoustic than one would expect from HSH, promo CD in track-list stickered Wichita slip-case.
Daniel Hertzov – Believing. Kind of folky singer songwriter stuff, has hints of Cat Stevens in places.
High Frequency – Welcome To Apathyville, The County Town Of Kent. Grungy power-pop / fairly light hardcore from sunny Kent.
Howl Griff – The Hum. Welsh indie rock, from the Cardiff is it.
Hungover Stuntmen – Blame The BBC. Mod / Brit-Pop / Indie.

Neve Dinova – You May Already Be Dreaming. Americana / alt.country, will appeal to those who appreciate Will Oldham, Palace Music, Silver Jews etc.
Francis Neve – The Second Time We First Met. Melodic and catchy indie / alt with almost a folk bent in places.
New Idea Society – The World Is Bright And Lonely. DIY / bedroom-indie singer-songwriter with quirks.
Nineteen Ninety Seven – On the Run. “The sonic equivalent to a wide-eyed romp through a rural field on a sunny day” Spin / “Bright beautiful and utterly endearing” Rock Sound. “Light boy girl guitar indie of a melodic nature, CDR in slip case” Me.

Rafter – Animal Feelings, US indie / alt on Asthmatic Kitty.
The Recovery – The Recovery. Indie of the large guitar and odd voice variety. I might even have heard of them.
Kai Reiner – Kai Reiner. Jangly guitar indie of a somewhat 80s nature.
The Research – The Old Terminal. Guitar indie with a nice light summery DIY feel and melodic flair, slip case.
Restless People – Restless People. Synth-pop, but largely avoids retro kitsch, i.e. doesn’t remind the listener of John Foxx / 80s Mute.
Rosie And The Goldbug – The Album. Female fronted power-pop.
Royal Treatment Plant – Hope Is Not Enough. Female fronted power-pop with a punky edge and appropriate analogue bleepage.
The Royal We – The Royal We. Fem DIY / lo-fi stuff, track 2 is a bit of a hit on 120 Minutes (slip Case).

S

Robin Dean Salmon – Come On Home. Both types of music: country and western.
Matthew Sawyer And The Ghosts – How Snakes Eat. DIY freak-folk / alt of a quirky, rather charming and nicely packaged nature.
Jon Scott – Flow Like A River. Soul with a rather mid-70s feel.
Sherwood – A Different Light. Melodic guitar based on MySpace Records. Yes, there is such a thing.
Shin Jin Rui – Zutiqua. Low-fi indie rock.
Silt – Cat’s Peak. Kind of alt.folk / country from Toronto, but way wider than that sounds. Quiet, introverted, close. The drummer can apparently play bass and drums at the same time.
Smallgang – Trespasses. Light guitar-driven indie-pop of a somewhat autobiographical nature.
Smash – Icon. Grungy indie stuff.
Smother – Great White Hoax. Nu-grunge-power-trio.
Small Sins – Small Sins. Electro pop but not obviously 80s in influence, slip case.
Gunther Sohm – Brutal Normal. Austrian accordion folk from man with dog.
Sound Team – “Movie Monster”. They could have rearranged the title into a Can album. They didn’t. It’s a bit indie, a bit electronic, a bit stadium rock – imagine if Reel To Reel period Simple Minds went stadium, not the later band, slip case.
Spektrum – Fun At The Gymkhana Club. Electro pop a little in the Peaches vein, slip case.
Spider Rockets – Ever After. Female fronted indie metal.
Sports day Megaphone – So Many Colours / So Little Time. Electronica, more synth-pop meets computer game than dance, has sporadic vocals, and some degree of indie feel, slip-case.
Andreas Stahel – Circular Hocket. Minimalist / avant solo flute plus loops of solo flute stuff. Features some pretty enormous flutes.
Still Flyin’- A Party In Motion. Synth-pop with a strong 80s leaning.
Stinkmitt – The Red Album. Canadian F/F/M white rap trio, has a slight stink of Peaches.
StonySleep – Music For Chamelions. Isn’t that a Gary Newman song / Truman Capote book? Anyway this is grungy power-pop indie stuff, not a Polymoog or dog-eared page in sight.
Stuffy/The Fuses – Angels Are Ace. Indie / new-wave, hints of wire at times.
Subaqwa – Chalk Circle. Guitar indie, Sonic Youth at their poppiest / lightest.
Subtle – Exiting Arm. Slightly introspective indietronica (I suspect I’ve just made that genre up), vocally it reminds me of Fields a little, though musically it’s a whole other thing.
Subvert – Assisted Suicide. Does what it says.
Sunday Driver - The Mutiny. Retro-folk / indie-pop of a strangely Edwardian aesthetic.
Richie Syrett – Commit No Nuisance. Singer songwriter stuff, slightly mournful, looks to be self-produced/released.

T

Tacticians – Some Kind Of Urban Fulfillment. Guitar based indie, rhymes James Dean with Vaseline.
Tin Star – Spectralist. Odd-ball fusion of traditional songwriting, electric beats and everything from dub to chart pop, almost certainly made at home.
To Arms Etc – Corner Games. Not too easy to get a handle on this one… kind of indie, but not landfill indie, has some originality for sure. Has a piano too.
Chrystina Tomlin – Bitter Twisted Wrong. Electric singer songwriter stuff in a somewhat Alanis Morrisette vein.
Luke Toms – The Forever House. Orchestrated melodic singer-songwriter stuff almost in the Elton ballpark, and I don’t mean that as an insult at all, slip case.
To My Boy – Messages. Synth and guitar driven nerd/geek-rock of a somewhat They Might Be Giants nature.
Tree By Leaf – There Is A vine. Folky Americana type stuff, probably Christian in orientation, but certainly not ‘Christian rock’ as that is usually a dreadful thing.

U

UPD – Ultimate Power Duo. It appears to require three people for a power duo these days, anyway, that’s what you get, full ahead grungyness.
